Story ok; narration not

The new narrator simply ruined the book. His voice characterizations distorted Jury and others as well as creating an aggressive ambiance, negating the humor so crucial to these novels.

The narration is flat. The story is predictable. It amazed me that Bernie and Jim were regularly fooled by obvious criminals. I do appreciate the lack of gore and violence, but the predictable plot line made this a less than stellar contribution. Anne Hillerman has written better books.

This is a difficult book to listen to. Hearing texts and tweets, with all the associated jargon, made the story and characters difficult to remember and know. It is a book better read than heard.

Dick Francis had a real understanding of people and their psyches. This novel demonstrates the confident prose and insightful story telling that are hallmarks of his writing. And the narrator of this book adds depth with an interpretation that hits the target perfectly.

I stopped counting how many times this phrase was used, but it, along with, “Are you kidding me?” and “gut instinct” made me believe that editors no longer influence their authors. Or, perhaps, neither the author or the editor have respect for their readers. If you want a formulaic action novel, read by a narrator whose voice falls, sometimes to an inaudibly level, at the end of each sentence, this is your book.

I've enjoyed all the Burdett books except this one. The end of this one is shocking, but an even more significant problem is the narrator. His use of accents is excellent, but his voice tone goes back and forth from loud to quiet in a very brief time, so it was common for me to miss one the soft, quieter words. I found it very frustrating.
